The current price increase on goods that have already made it to our shores is what i'm referring to as panicans, the strait of Hormuz isn't technically closed shadow fleets continue to move through it at their own risk.

That's a tricky thing though, isn't it. While the law is in of itself good, 'hate speech' can mean different things to different people. Same with 'incitement to violence'. Same with 'defamation'. If I tell the truth that men can not get pregnant, the left screams 'hate speech'. If a Christian says that homosexuality is against Gods law, and someone gets upset and firebombs their church, does the court say that the Christian 'incited violence' by 'hate speech' and that the bomber was acting in self defense? If I tell the truth that Islam is, in it's pure form, a violence mess, is that 'hate speech' even though it's true? That's the kind of lawsuits and conversations that go on here.
'hate speech'. 'incite to violence'. 'defamation'. Sounds straight up. But really is tricky stuff.

It's only been 11 days. No one has won or lost.
And it's going to be a long while before we know if anyone has.
No matter what Trump claims. No matter what Iran claims.
It's anyones 'game to win'. (if you can call it a 'win')

"Trump: We did a little excursion. A couple weeks, a few weeks of excursion, had to take an excursion, but it's doing well. The market is holding up well. I figured we would be hit a little bit, but we were hit less than I thought and we will be back on track in a pretty short while. Prices are coming down substantially, oil will be coming down."
Why does he keep describing it as an excursion
Is he confusing it with the word 'incursion'?
Nar, it's because Trump sees his Iran war as a break/holiday away from the Epstein files!!

It's a little insane to do so, IMHO.

With how the situation is evolving, It is not just Israel/USA v Iran, but also Russia and China. If you where them, would you rather keep things how they are working or let some Warmongering, Satanic, Zionists, Cannibal, Pedofiles move in next to your backyard? With the way Ukraine is going, the answer is no.
This is a tough problem, too big for Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino to fix. Perhaps war is the only way with how entrenched this culture has become?
The way this war started taking out the Leadership and a School is a message that this is an attack on their culture. The recent color revolution failed. There was a foreign insurgency trying to get the people to revolt. Lot of people got killed on all sides.
With the way it is shaping up, it is about control of the Greater Israel region. Does a two tiered justice system between the chosen and the locals expand in influence or does the next Ayatollah get the final say? What would the UK do if the Crown was targeted for destruction? What would Rome do if it was the Pope?
Feels like it will go on for a while with how deep in Trump is and how committed the Iranian people are, as long as the nukes stay out of it.

Has nobody mentioned the videos circulating of the Iranian missiles bypassing the Iron Dome and hitting Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa? I guess once you click on one or two on YouTube the algorithms are sending me dozens.
I've also seen those vid's pop up, I think they're cluster type ammunitions to try and by-pass the Iron dome.
